Cycling Shoes - What To Wear When Riding Your Bike

One of the nicest things about cycling is that it's generally possible to do it in
your normal clothes without spending ages gtting changed, or messing around with
gadgets and pieces of kit. There is however one exception - regular cycling
wears out your shoes very quickly, and for this reason it's best to wear
specialist cycling shoes whenever possible.

The reason why cycling is hard on shoes, is that your feet need to grip the pedals,
and this grip tends to tear aware at the soles of your shoes. Thus you'll find
it's a false economy to "save money" money by buying sneakers and cycling
in those.

Aside from durability, there other reason to choose specialist cycling shoes
if possible. Cycling shoes are designed to support the whole of your foot's
sole, and this avoids you getting sore patches at the places where the pedals
touch. Additionally, cycling shoes have stiffer soles than regular shoes or snickers,
and this allows you both to pedal more efficiently, and also helps the blood flow
freely in your feet, which will help keep you warm in cold weather, and cool in hot weather.

Clipless Pedals

Once you have become a regular cyclist, one of the things that you may wish to look into
is clipless pedals. These require special shoes with metal cleats on their soles: your
feet are then able to lock securely to the pedals, although you can receive instant release
(for example in an emergency) by simply twisting your feet.

Shoes and cleats from different manufacturers are generally interchangeable so you
can mix and match your choice of gear. In general, there are two bolt holes recessed
in the sole of the shoe, and the cleat attaches to this. However, cleats and clipless pedals
are generally sold together and only work in specific combinations - so for these you
cant mix and match.

Here are some cycling shoes:

Product Description:While the Fizik R1 Uomo shoes are some of the most comfortable, high performance shoes we've worn, they may be a little pricey for riders who want comfort but who aren't rolling to that start line on a regular basis.

Inside of the uppers is Fizik's Superlight Insole that supports your arches and absorbs road vibration.

A molded heel cup helps to keep your foot in the ideal pedaling position while minimizing heel slippage. To secure the shoes to your feet, the R5 Uomo use the Boa closure system. Consisting of a single dial with a continuous loop, it is micro-adjustable for the perfect fit. A hook-and-loop closure at the forefoot adds a separate adjustment point to keep your toes happy.
